He was educated bythe Jesuit priests of the post where he lived, wrote a good hand, and waseverywhere received as a gentleman. The first event of his careeroccurred when at the age of ten he accompanied his Indian uncles on a warexpedition down the Mississippi. Thither a considerable French army camefrom New Orleans, and built a post near Memphis and there passed a winterpreparing for a campaign against the rebellious Chickasaw.
